DAD'S BLESSING

Let me bless you with a story about the light of the world:

Last night I read a memoir of my father’s life in mind… What I mean is that he shares his belief structure and development over a lifetime of more than 80 years. He describes his willing in-doctrine-ization into the thought system of his familial and religious structure; the specifics and ‘specia’l-izations inherent to it. He shares his beliefs, interpretations, acceptances, justifications, denials and faithfulness. 

The story is a good one; well researched and well written. It is an honest account of one man’s life, written from the perspective Self-love; from one who has faced himself; evaluated the true from the false and forgiven all that didn’t meet the criteria of peace.

I found reading this account compelling and healing. Also very intimate. I experienced the joining that comes with absolute faithfulness, meeting brother to brother in the truth of Who God created as Himself.

As I read along the path my father described, I experience myself reading as if from his own perspective, like I was in his mind, watching his movie of his life perspective…

Then, in a holy instant I fused with him as Christ, united in the purpose of the recognition of the truth. His story was my story. His mind, my own...

Dad tells how he began to ask of himself the honest, the real questions deep within about life and God and self. He asked for the truth. And the path was set. 

Turns out the Holy Spirit is hanging out in the ether of the walls and shelves and words and minds in the BYU library, just as everywhere else, available by sincere asking, and asking honestly. 

My father then shares the progression of this internal inquiry. He proceed to show how his honest request led him to A Course in Miracles and to the curriculum that would reinterpret and give meaning to his purpose in life. His gratitude for the forgiveness, miracles and healing received by accepting the Atonement for himself, is obvious and cannot be missed as it gives light to the glorious gratitude that praises God…

I experienced the lifting-out of the construct of world and story into the shared, healed perspective of one-mind which forgiveness reveals… Gratitude and grandeur and beauty and magnitude spilt tears of appreciation and joy and light and love and blessed the world, as I finished reading… yum.

Thanks Dad for your integrity and your willingness; for forgiving, sharing and joining. Thanks for lighting my mind and every mind and saving the world.

Thanks for being my mighty companion on the road back home. I am blessed beyond measure for your sincerity, communion and love.

I LOVE YOU.

The Course is relentless in reminding us that there is no world so not to look to it for truth. Look to it for the false veil we have drawn across the face of Christ and the Real world.

Don’t ever forget~ the world we are looking upon, without exception, is reflecting what we believe we are. It reflects the image made of the self by the mistaken identity construct of the mind; which is by definition an attack/victim image, which is actually an attack on what God created perfect as Himself. This is the same as to say it is an attack on God, who, being only love cannot attack or be attacked. In other words, we are to ourselves a case of mistaken identity

No worries…

What is not true is but illusion and illusion has no subsistence in the truth. This is the code of the Atonement; that false will not stand.

An image will never satisfy, will always fall short, want more, and betray the ones it claims to love… yada yada yada… Well, you know the drill. You’ve rehearsed it for millennia.  Miracles reveal a different Self, one already complete, healed and whole, joined in purpose with all creation, and one in God.

When the choice for truth is made this world is seen as the flimsy overlay on the overhead-projector of Christ Mind, and recognized as merely false.

“It is but the first few steps along the right way that seem hard, for you have chosen, although you still may think you can go back and make the other choice. This is not so. A choice made with the power of Heaven to uphold it cannot be undone. Your way is decided. There will be nothing you will not be told, if you acknowledge this… and so you and your brother stand, here in this holy place, before the veil of sin that hangs between you and face of Christ. Let it be lifted! Raise it together with your brother, for it is but a veil that stands between you…and peace has reached you even here, before the veil. Think what will happen after. The love of Christ will light your face, and shine from it into a darkened world that needs the light. And from this holy place He will return with you, not leaving it nor you. You will become His messenger, returning Him unto Himself… Think of the loveliness that you will see, who walks with Him! …” (T-22. IV)

Give over your life to the Holy Spirit, bring all of your decisions under Jesus’ guidance and join us at the branching of the road as we lift the veil of falseness together. The light is on… you can see the lighthouse from there… just look and you will see ~above all else you want to see…

I LOVE YOU!

 

ABOVE THE BATTLEGROUND INTO THE FEILD OF HAPPINESS

I am for God. It is so simple. It is a decision for what is truly natural. There is no process to it. It is a present moment decision born out of willingness.

When the desire for otherness/specialness/me-ness has been let go, ones natural identity in God emerges as a single light of joyous identity. It is the frequency of love... Seek only the kingdom of Heaven and all else is added unto… Why? Because, this is not really seeking at all, but rather waking-up. It is remembering the present, which is the presence of God.

Forgiven, the past is literally forgotten as a point of identity. It (the past) takes on the essence of remembering a dream or a movie you watched.  

You know what I mean. We’ve all had miracles that have allowed us to see or remember something from an entirely opposite perspective, and with gratitude for it.  Miracles heal our identity with woundology. We forget the idea of harm as we accept our invulnerability in God.

Now, is experienced as the eternal fresh moment of love’s abundance.

This is the only happiness there really is. Yes? Yes! Here’s why. God is… This is the one Reality that unveils joy and laughter and peace, impervious certainty and imperturbability. It is the experience of PERFECT HAPPINESS.

I LOVE IT!

To have all this, be it. It  but requires a wholehearted decision. To be as God created. In people-talk, that is love; think love, think light, look only for that everywhere. You will see what you expect to see. I know.

It takes no time at all. In fact, it is the belief in time that keeps looping us back into the dream, on the battlefield.

Here’s the trick! Rise above time and all the constructs that make the world. Rise into thoughts of God and love and light. Think of timelessness, limitlessness, changeless, eternal completion.

Check it out for yourself. It always works. If we do it, it works. This is what the Course is training us to do. 

Here is the mind we share with God. Now is the Holy Spirit viable in our lives.

What happened for me is that I finally realized that what the Course says that if you don’t hear the Voice for God it is because you don’t choose to listen was true. I simply valued trying more than being. Time, more than eternity, little ‘me’ more the Grandeur of God.

Here’s the point though. That didn’t make me happy. And, after all aren’t we all (ignorant to it though we may be) just trying to be happy? Isn’t that the end game?

The only thing that has ever given me true happiness is God.

I accepted the Atonement for myself. Period. That is the end game of this world.

The idea of God rises us up. It is a joining in the most simple of terms.

Here is where I live. It is where I was created and what I was created as. I am as God created me.

 I am the energy of love extended and extending naturally. I am only light. I am pure Spirit. These thoughts lift the mind into its creative agreement with God.

Naturally, all one wants to do now is shine that recognition forth. Here is where we see that our brothers give us the chance to give the gift of miracles. We get to be helpful through the Holy Spirit and save the world. Gratitude abounds... 

We are Christ. And we are not alone...

All Glory to God.

I love you.

 

SAVING THE WORLD ONE LIGHT AT A TIME

I am deeply in love with God.

God Love is the constant of my life. I feel it even when I misplace myself in my life and play god with plans and guilt, I feel His Love deep within tugging in my sleeve, pulling me back home. This is the Holy Spirit, awaiting with a smile behind my craziness, a sane and clear perspective to the insanity I am here to forgive… reminding me of my purpose.

 I was sitting with Jesus in my meditation this morning. I was lifted from my self in the frequency of wholehearted gratitude for this unending Love and how it is always reaching me exactly where I’m at…

 I love A Course in Miracles! It has given me the context for sanity in the mixed-up, insane world, where nothing has ever really made sense to me.

From moment one, word one, the Course instantaneously called-up the memory of truth within my mind, and though at the time I first began my relationship with the Course, and I couldn’t wrap my mind around what it was that was so compelling, I was drawn unthinkingly ~ It was my first experience of not trying to fit what I was experiencing into one of my ready-made constructs… I intrinsically knew it was something entirely the opposite of everything I was familiar with. It was like landing in a parallel universe where all the symbols are the same but the meanings~ well, had meaning… I recognized the Voice for God woven into the concepts and applications, as I recognize that Voice within my right-mind.

Then a few years ago in time, which has now collapsed in on itself, as it seems that it was going on all along, I fell madly in love with Jesus! I’m not really sure how it happened. I didn’t seem to be wired-up for the holy-roller, born-again, ‘Jesus love’s you’ stuff.

Yet, here I am: born again, rockin &rollin’ with holy brotherhood of saviors of the world, and hand in hand with Jesus.

Well I am attempting the impossible here to speak of what is actually unspeakable appreciation to Jesus for his unwavering companionship. Yet I am so lifted and inspired that the belly of the share within me, beckons to be expressed. Honored by his living, visible, expression of love through A Course in Miracles, the perfect guidance inward to the Voice we share with God and the eternal love that sustains us as One, I am devoted to his ministry, which is my own.

Who’d have thought?

Thank you Jesus!

Here’s what he states clearly in the Clarification of Terms in response to our ego based thought system:

“Your questions have no answer, being made to still God's Voice, which asks of everyone one question only: "Are you ready yet to help Me save the world?"  Ask this instead of what the ego is, and you will see a sudden brightness cover up the world the ego made.  No miracle is now withheld from anyone.  The world is saved from what you thought it was.  And what it is, is wholly uncondemned and wholly pure.”

Are we ready to help Him save the world?

I AM!

Honestly, after attempting things, ‘my way’, getting no closer to happiness, and then joining with Jesus and having my heart and mind cracked wide open to Love’s light, I can say without reservation, this is my bliss! It is my one purpose which I joyously fulfill through forgiveness and appreciation! You are my one self. How can I be helpful?

Let’s join in the stillness born of innocent perception and ask candidly; ‘Am I ready? Are we ready to stand in singularity for God? Are we ready to join the mighty companions as saviors of the world? Are we willing to lay aside all our own ideas and come with open hearts and empty hands in order to experience the peace and joy of God? Are we willing to teach only love and know that love is ours and we are love?

I AM! ~ Sign up here!

I LOVE YOU.

 

THOSE WHO ARE CERTAIN OF THE OUTCOME CAN AFFORD TO WAIT, AND WAIT WITHOUT ANXIETY.

PATIENCE IS NATURAL TO THE TEACHER OF GOD... Blessings everyone! Thanks for hangin’ out while the internet miracle-working has been going on. It’s been fun to watch.

 Apparently, our minds are healed, cuz we have lift- off!

I LOVE IT!

I LOVE YOU!

The Song of Prayer, all of which is so beautiful, comes to mind. Here is the passage running through my mind right now:

 “The secret of true prayer is to forget the things you think you need… in prayer you overlook you specific needs as you see them, and let them go into God’s Hands. There they become your gifts to Him, for they tell Him that you would have no gods before Him; no love but His. What could his answer be but your remembrance of Him? Can this be traded for a bit of trifling advice about a problem of an instant’s duration? God answers only for eternity. But still all little answers are contained in this… there is nothing to ask because there is nothing left to want.”

Isn’t that so yummy! That is the zero point of perfect peace and all of the recent lessons have been leading us to the mind-trust-fall into it: this moment, the present moment, the only one~ the presence of God. It is the joyous totality of now, where form is irrelevant. It has been replaced with the certainty of love’s inevitability.

I love keeping it simple.

I am the light of the world.

Whatever is happening is for the purpose of saving the world.

Why resist? Love is … Recognition of this one fact is inevitable.
